[edit] Way too technical (no it isn't)

I've just read through this, and I have yet to figure out how exactly to listen to HD radio signals. Me thinks it's time to stop with the "I wish I was a high school electronics teacher" speech, and just get to the point. This is an encyclopedia, not an electronics manual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.121.32 (talk) 11:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

On the other hand, I'm an electrical engineer, and I find this article EXTREMELY valuable in understanding how it works, why it sounds better than analog, and how it compares with other Digital Radio options (like DRM or DAB). ----- Oh and to answer your question: "How do I listen to HD radio signals?" Answer: You buy an HD radio; simple as that.  :-) The article says that in the first few paragraphs, and even provides a list of manufacturers towards the end, so you know where to go to buy one. - Theaveng (talk) 12:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Definitely I can understand this point, I am not saying remove that kind of thing, definitely not, I just think there is a need for a more "basic look" inside the article too. An encyclopedia isn't meant to be vague, to either people who know about a subject or not.

If I want to read about wind, I don't want to particularly be met with details and details of numbers relating to air temperature, land temperature, air pressure and environmental factors within the first paragraph.

False analogy. (1) An article on wind would, indeed, include technical data about storm fronts, presseure variances, meteorological analysis, et cetera. (2) There's almost no technical discussion in the first paragraph of the HD Radio article, so your analog is false in that respect. The truly technical stuff does not begin until paragraph 8 (the "AM" section) where begins discussion about bitrates, bandwidth, overlap with analog signals, et cetera.
There's plenty of information prior to that for the non-technically minded, such as yourself. I am NOT going to erase valuable engineering data just because you lack the patience to understand it and/or limit yourself to reading just the non-technical paragraphs at the beginning. - Theaveng (talk) 12:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
